| Todsen's pennyroyal is a rare mint that is found in south-central New Mexico. It is a perennial rhizomatous herb approximately 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) tall. The small, lance-shaped leaves are arranged oppositely along the stem. The tubular orange (or less frequently yellow) flowers open to two lips. Typical of plants in the mint family, the leaves of this species emit a distinctive fragrant odor. Even though thousand of stems may occur at a site, the number of genetically distinct individuals is likely to be far less because of the tendency of the species to form clonal mats. Plants either do not form seed or form very little seed in the wild.
